Strap Tightness and Tissue Composition Both Affect the Vibration Created by a Wearable Device

Representativefig

Wearable haptic devices can provide salient real-time feedback (typically vibration) for rehabilitation, sports training, and skill acquisition. Although the body provides many sites for such cues, the influence of the mounting location on vibrotactile mechanics is commonly ignored. This study builds on previous research by quantifying how changes in strap tightness and local tissue composition affect the physical acceleration generated by a typical vibrotactile device.
